Well-designed in most every aspect.
Novel even for today, even more so for the late 90s.
Innovative (again, for the time).
Straight up fun.
Many will find age and required setup to be roadblocks to enjoying this game.
Fun, but not really fulfilling for anyone looking for something more.
GoldenEye is a great game. Controlled well at the time, and can still control well if you emulate it on pc and set up the controls appropriately. Levels and missions are imaginative, environments exude a sense of place unlike any shooter at the time (maybe save for Duke Nukem 3D), and gunplay is straight up fun. Nothing that will blow you away (even at the time the game was better regarded for its local multiplayer), but still thoroughly entertaining.
Replayability- given the nature of the multiplayer, plus the ease with which the main story presents itself, there aren't too many games that could be played this much indefinitely.
Story- a Cliffs Notes version of the movie, the story is nonsense when put up against the gameplay part of it- very glossed over and inconsequential overall.
The setup and execution of this game is great, though I do have SOME minor issues with it- A- the graphics are kind of atrocious by today’s standards, this is hindsight talking here but Playstation graphics were way better, and B- there are some DAMN cheap parts to this game, though some parts were really easy. I feel like nostalgia goggles get put on this and people mostly remember the Multiplayer as being the hook for it. Still pretty innovative and great for the time and even now (mostly).
